How many thousands of years until current believers give up?

Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come.
--Mark 13:33

That's sort of the Christian Catch-22. Keeps us believers on our toes today and for billions of years to come.

Pretty clever, innit?

I think in about 100 years the majority of the world will be secular. 35% of US millennials are already non-religious. With the Internet, resolving the fairy tales in most religions will seem to be an exhausting mental exercise that most just won't waste their time with. In 200 years, you'll only find it in the poorest and most isolated areas of the world. In 500 years it will most likely be less than 1% of people.

But I would go back to my post to you a couple months ago. You need to let your anger towards Christianity go, and start seeing the positive in things. These threads are starting to become more and more neurotic. I'm not a Christian by any means, but your venting period needs to end soon. There are lots of great things to do with your life, and the food pantry at your Church does a lot of good things. It's possible to coexist with Christianity. Don't let the bitter atheist neckbeards mold your psychology.

YOu'll be a believer before I give up. There are no atheists in foxholes or hell.

You should ask this question to the pastor who did your marriage counseling.

Well, since Islam is a cult and not so much a religion, it will 've next to die. Some prophet Mohammed decides to write a book and instructs his followers to kill. Not a religion bro

A lot of younger people say they're religious almost purely for the sake of being religious. Believing in a "higher power" and not defining it at all, for me, is irreligousness or atheism. Pantheism, etc. etc..

I think it's very difficult to keep believing because, well, the books have obvious contradictions and at this point I have to question if it can sustain itself without having another change in its philosophy.

The debates are also waking people up -- and that's a big deal. Debates are so important. If you're an atheist or you're religious, you should watch debates.

In a few thousand years we be able to scientifically confirm religion. Maybe not in the exact sense of any current religion, but in the sense of discovering other dimensions or other forms of intelligence or life that we don't currently know about that would be close to what our current idea of a higher power is

that's not necessarily true. Hindiusm is essentially 5,000 years old. Which is basically the bronze age which is basically as long as human civilization )not humans themselves) as we know it has really been around.

I never have understood why Athiests spend so much time bashing a God that they don't believe in? I don't see Athiests bashing unicorns? What gives?
